I’ve been looking for patterns and designs to create a wallpaper from. I have an idea in my head for the degree show, i want to create a Victorian style wallpaper with an old fashioned style print, then super impose images of my collage faces onto it.
These sort of patterns remind me of old houses that haven’t changed for decades, the walls stined from age and nicotine and peeling from the walls. The wallpaper that was in my dollshouse before i began to cover it, was stained with damp and age and the dollshouse itself deteriorating which was another reason i thought this older style would be better. Also the mirror i have started is an old dark wood and i could see it on a wall with a pattern like this.
I’ve looked on the internet at different styles, first of all i looked at 1960s and 70s thinking i would create one in a psychedelic style but then decided that a Victorian / start of 20th Century style would go with the rest of my work better.
I also looked at designs from packaging and similar items, the top design is from a Primark gift voucher card and the bottom design is from a gift bag from a jewellery shop.
